This all worked because the games that people had installed on their PC's were autonomous. They had everything needed to run on that single PC. I think EA learned real quick how dangerous this was when the 2nd expansion for BF1942 came out (or was it the third?) and it had to compete with modern combat. (mod for bf1942) I completely ignored the expansion, and I imagine TONS of other people did as well, mainly because I was playing the shit out of modern combat.
